Beware of here say ;-)
We installed several Keylink keycode readers
on Marconi telecines and the last time I saw images on the
Color by Dejongue revamped machine  <dirk at color-by-dejonghe.com>
I found them on a par if not better than the FDL90's ones.
i.e. excellent for SD rushes.

John Bowring <jbowring at ozemail.com.au> can also tell you more
about this workhorse.

I am not 100% sure but I think Marconi was the first
to incorporate a 14bit depht image processor in a telecine.
Peter will either confirm or get me laughed out of town.
